Interface WindowableTask

public interface WindowableTask

Add-on interface to StreamTask implementations to add code which will be run on
a specified time interval (via configuration). This can be used to implement direct time-based windowing or,
with a frequent window interval, windowing based on some other condition which is checked during the call to
window. The window method will be called even if no messages are received for a particular StreamTask.
